All other embodimentsobtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodimentsof the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within theprotection scope of the present invention.

The “embodiment” mentioned herein means that a specific feature,structure or characteristic described in combination with the embodimentmay be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Theterm appearing in different parts of the specification does notnecessarily refer to the same embodiment or an independent oralternative embodiment exclusive of other embodiments. It may beexplicitly or implicitly appreciated by those skilled in the art thatthe embodiment described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 , an embodiment provides a hanging shower,including a water outlet support arm 1, a fixing component 3, and ashower body 2. The water outlet support arm 1 extends in a firstdirection, and the fixing component 3 is installed on the water outletsupport arm 1, and extends in a second direction. The first directionhas an included angle a with the second direction. Specifically, thefixing component 3 is not lower than a horizontal plane, that is, thefixing component 3 is flush with or higher than the horizontal plane,then when the shower body 2 is hung on the fixing component 3, it is noteasy to slip from the fixing component 3.

The shower body 2 is communicated with a first water outlet 34 of thewater outlet support arm 1. Specifically, the shower body 2 iscommunicated with the first water outlet 34 of the water outlet supportarm 1 through a hose. A hanging ring 21 is arranged on the shower body2. The hanging ring 21 has an inner diameter greater than or equal to amaximum length of a cross section of the fixing component 3. Preferably,the inner diameter of the hanging ring 21 is 1-3 cm greater than themaximum length of the cross section, too small inner diameter is noteasy for insertion, and too large inner diameter easily make the showerbody 2 easy to slip from the fixing component 3.

Embodiment I

The fixing component 3 is a hanging rod. The hanging rod is installed onthe water outlet support arm 1 and has the included angle with the wateroutlet support arm. The shower body 2 is hung on the hanging rod throughthe hanging ring 21. In order to prevent the shower body 2 from fallingfrom the hanging rod, preferably, the shower body 2 and the hanging rodare connected by magnetic adsorption, such that the shower body 2 ismore stable when hanging and is not easy to slip off.

The hanging ring 21 may be arranged on a back or an upper end face ofthe shower body 2. When the hanging ring 21 is arranged on the back ofthe shower body 2, the hanging ring 21 is arranged perpendicular to theshower body 2, which makes it more convenient to take the shower bodyout from the fixing component 3, and the shower body can also bedirectly hung on the fixing component 3 for use. When the hanging ring21 is arranged on the top of the shower body 2, the hanging ring 21 andthe shower body 2 are on the same horizontal plane, that is, theintegrity is relatively excellent and the appearance is more beautiful.Preferably, the hanging ring 21 is arranged on the back of the showerbody 2.

The shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 are magnetically connected.The shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 may be both magneticelements, or either of the shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 maybe a magnetic element, and the contact surface of the other can form amagnetic attraction effect with the magnetic element. The magneticelement is a strong magnet.

Specifically, when the lap joint of the shower body 2 is a magneticelement, a first placement groove for placing a first magnetic element22 is formed in an inner side wall of the shower body 2. The firstmagnetic element 22 is placed in the first placement groove, and islocked and fixed with the first placement groove through a first coverplate 23. The first magnetic element 22 is fixed and installed in thefirst placement groove. The lap joint of the shower body 2 may also bemade of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element.Specifically, at least the inner side wall of the hanging ring 21 may bemade of a material that can be adsorbed by the magnetic element, or thewhole hanging ring 21 may be made of a material that can be adsorbed bythe magnetic element. The material that can be adsorbed by the magneticelement includes a substance such as iron.

When the lap joint of the fixing component 3 is usually one end of thefixing component 3 adjacent to the water outlet support arm 1, that is,a second placement groove is formed in a side wall of one end of thefixing component adjacent to the water outlet support arm 1. A secondmagnetic element 31 is placed in the second placement groove, and islocked and fixed with the second placement groove through a second coverplate 32, and then the second magnetic element 31 is fixed in the secondplacement groove. The lap joint of the fixing component 3 and the showerbody 2 may also be made of a material that can be adsorbed by themagnetic element. Specifically, the end of the fixing component 3adjacent to the water outlet support arm 1 may be made of a materialthat can be adsorbed by the magnetic element, or the whole fixingcomponent 3 may be made of a material that can be adsorbed by themagnetic element.

In more detail, there are three ways of magnetic adsorption between theshower body 2 and the fixing component 3. First, the first magneticmember 22 is installed in the shower body 2, and the lap joint of thefixing component 3 and the shower body 2 is made of a material that canbe adsorbed by the first magnetic element 22. Second, the secondmagnetic element 31 is installed in the fixing component 3, and then atleast the inner side surface of the hanging ring 21 is made of amaterial that can be adsorbed by the second magnetic element 31. Third,both the shower body 2 and the fixing component 3 are provided withmagnetic elements, and adsorption and fixing are realized by the firstmagnetic element 22 and the second magnetic element 31. The second orthird method is preferred. If the second method is used, the shower body2 is relatively light and more convenient to use. If the third method isused, the adsorption force is stronger, which makes the shower body 2less likely to fall from the fixing component 3.

Embodiment II

The difference between Embodiment II and Embodiment I is that the fixingcomponent 3 of Embodiment II is a water spray panel, while the fixingcomponent 3 of Embodiment I is a simple hanging rod.

The water spray panel is installed on and communicated with a secondwater outlet 35 of the water outlet support arm 1. The water spray panelcan discharge water through the water outlet support arm 1, and aplurality of water outlet holes are formed in the water spray panel.Preferably, the water outlet holes of the water spray panel arewaterfall holes. Specifically, an extension part 33 is arranged at oneend of the water spray panel connected to the water outlet support arm1. The water outlet support arm is communicated with the water spraypanel through the extension part 33. The first water outlet 34 islocated on the water outlet support arm 1 or a side wall of theextension part 33 of the water spray panel. The hanging shower furtherincludes a water divider 4, and the water divider 4 is installed on thewater outlet support arm or the water spray panel for opening andclosing the shower body 2 and the water spray panel respectively.

Specifically, the water divider 4 includes a water dividing valve 41 anda switching handle 42 for controlling the water dividing valve 41;moreover, the water dividing valve 41 is installed on the water outletsupport arm or the water spray panel. The water discharge of the showerbody 2 and the water spray panel is controlled by switching the handle42. An installation method of the water dividing valve 41 is aconventional method in the field, so it will not be further describedhere.

An installation method and position of the second magnetic element 31are the same as that in Embodiment I. Specifically, a second placementgroove can be arranged on the water spray panel and the second magneticelement 31 is placed in the second placement groove, and is lockedthrough the second cover plate 32. By setting the fixing component 3 asthe water spray panel, the multi-functional effect of various waterdischarge methods can be realized, and the shower body 2 can be fixed.

The above described are merely implementations of the present invention,which are not intended to limit the scope of the patent of the presentinvention. Any equivalent structure or process change made based on thespecification and drawings of the present invention, or direct orindirect application thereof in other related technical fields, shouldfall within the protection scope of the patent of the present invention.
